PRINTED BY IMAGE CENTRETempis fugit, as my old Latin teacher used to say, and time seems to have indeed strappedwings to its slippery back as we approach our third year of the Glengarry Dozen. For the twoyears previous we have invited in twelve of the most talented winemaking individuals fromboth New Zealand and across the Tasman. The object of the exercise is that, for one crazy oldmonth, we assemble a tower of talent who then avail themselves to meet you, our dedicatedwine enthusiasts. Shaking the hand that plunged the cap or stirred the lees is, as we have allrealised, an opportunity not to be missed.This year our selection has, once again, drawn winemakers from far and wide, and weinclude Jane Ferrari (fantastic surname) from Australia’s Yalumba. We have winemakersfrom all sorts of undertakings, a variety of regions and each with their own very distinctphilosophies.From large, internationally-renowned operations such as Kumeu River and Sacred Hill, wewelcome Michael Brajkovich and Tony Bish respectively, who probably have more Chardonnayawards between them than anyone else you care to mention. We’ve also coaxed Allan Scott out,whose eponymous vineyard has helped shape the Marlborough region from the get-go.Alex Kahl of Boundary Vineyards and Jamie Marfell from Stoneleigh grace our pages, alongwith winemakers Tracy Haslam at Matakana’s Ti Point Vineyard and Stratford Canning fromMargrain in Martinborough, who show us that small can still stand tall. We also have EvelineFraser from the redoubtable Cloudy Bay, along with Jacqueline Kemp, whose Pinot skills haveput Akarua on the map. They, together with Tracy Haslam, go some way towards redressingthe male-female statistical imbalance that still dogs the industry.Another Pinot expert from the Deep South, Gibbston Valley’s Christopher Keys, will besharing his knowledge in ebullient fashion. Bringing up the rear, so to speak, is Chris ‘Gambo’Gambitsis, who everyone has met and never forgotten, ensuring that the Lake Chalice brandremains firmly etched on our consciousness, as it should be.What a collection, citizens. All of these boys and girls will be populating the bejewelledand tiled floor of a Glengarry store near you in the month of June, whether at a formaltasting, a wine club evening or just a casual sip, spit and chat affair of a Friday afternoon. Checkour schedule and get along to see as many of them as you can; this really is a great chance tograb a massive amount of knowledge from those who are at the front row of winemaking inAustralasia. See you there.Jak JakicevichSales enquiries: freephone 0800 733 505 freefax 0800 106 162 email sales@glengarry.co.nz
